On one hand, Harmony Korine’s debut feature is an indulgent fever dream that it would be easy to tar as arthouse slumming. On the other, it’s a deep dive into an America that cinema rarely sees or respects. Which is not to say that Korine isn’t trolling a bit here, but Gummo remains an indelible, even poetic screen experience. And it’s always good to see Linda Manz. -Lee Gardner
